No one would have thought about him! »Mihai Stoica's surprising proposal for the Golden Ball:” It's perfect “

Mihai Stoica believes that footballers who do not have formidable figures should be seriously taken into account for the golden ball. Rodri, the midfielder from Manchester City, is the winner of 2024.

When asked to whom the great individual distinction was given, Mihai Stoica discussed Nuno Mendes (22 years old), the left defender from PSG, a team with one foot in the Champions League final.

This year, the Portuguese gathered 42 matches, 6 goals and 5 decisive passes. He arrived at PSG in 2022, when he was brought from Sporting for 38 million euros.

Mihai Stoica also has a favorite from the middle up: Pedri, the Barcelona midfielder who crosses a formidable form.

“Salah has been doing the most championship since I play. I have a big problem with this golden balloon. Look, only those who have figures are proposed. At this time, Nuno Mendes seems to me a perfect defender, he does both phases, he plays excellent. Is the best left defender in recent years.

I was not a fan of Roberto Carlos, Maldini seemed over him. Mendes is also a defender and striker. I think a left -handed defender is just as important as a straight striker.

Salah breaks everyone at the figures, but it came out of the Champions League. Messi, at his age, was not like Yamal yet, even if he does not yet have his fiction. And I would go all on pedri. The idea is that he has already taken one that does not give goals, Modric, during that period with the Titans. Now … to give Pedri it is difficult, “said Mihai Stoica, at the first sport.
